I think I forgot some of my favorite bands there. (I got an iPod Touch and Rhapsody for Christmas. I filled almost all of it with music in the first day. ._.) James

I shortened mine so much for this thread, I almost cried when I left some bands out.

All of them (except Allman Brothers, I admit I don't listen to them all that often) would fall somewhere on my list.
<3 The Pogues!!!

But, I can't bring myself to make a list, because I wouldn't be able to stop myself from going back and adding one whenever I realized that I forgot it, and soon enough the list would take over the whole page...

I always got strange looks from peers whenever I talked about my favorite music because most of them had never heard of them before. AAAAND I forgot The Rolling Stones.

Oh bejeebus, I'm not even going to try listing them all. A couple that come to mind as I scroll through my 7000+ song iTunes library...

- Adele
- Alexz Johnson (anybody here remember a show called Instant Star?
- Amy Winehouse
- The Andrews Sisters
- Anna Tsuchiya (inspired by Nana, my favorite manga/anime)
- Anthony Stewart Head (woooo Buffy wooooo)
- Antonio Vivaldi
- Aretha Franklin
- Atlanthea

... Oh goodness those are just the As. Methinks I shouldn't continue. You get the gist, though?

(I also listen to quite a few soundtracks -- Disney, Broadway, Glee, etc -- but those don't really count as "artists".)

PS: I swear there are plenty of male artists in my collection. Just, for some reason, not many of my favorites have names that start with A.

“Most of the writers I know are weird hybrids. There’s a strong streak of egomania coupled with extreme shyness. Writing’s kind of like exhibitionism in private. And there’s also a strange loneliness, and a desire to have some kind of conversation with people, but not a real great ability to do it in person.”
— David Foster Wallace, 1996
